A rare win for the Royals tonight as they defeat the Indians at home 4-3. The Royals, for a bad team, are actually playing well in close games, with a 4-4 record when the contest is decided by one run. The Indians fall to 4-2 in one run games, but came pretty close to winning. Sizemore homered in the ninth, and the Indians then put men of first and second for Victor Martinez, but the catcher popped out in foul territory to the third baseman.

The Indians, while not off to a bad start (17-16) are falling behind in the division. The loss puts them six games behind the White Sox. Cleveland is 1-3 vs. the Royals, while the White Sox and Tigers are a combined 10-3.
